As part of the five-year project, the firm will supply the generating capacity, which will be split between two sites, using 14 of its dual-fuel mobile gas turbines.
Designed to offer a range of advantages over traditional power technologies, the mobile turbines feature the flexibility to use alternative fuels such as LPG, naphtha and kerosene.
It also provides s lower emissions, less noise and a smaller footprint when compared with high-speed reciprocating engines.
APR Energy chairman and CEO John Campion said: "We also want to thank the Ministry of Energy and Minerals for their continued confidence in our ability to provide reliable power for the people and businesses of Argentina.
"Argentina has been a key customer for us for many years, and we are honored to receive the largest share of generating capacity awarded to an international company.
"We look forward to the opportunity to continue to provide Argentina with power well into the next decade."
At present, APR Energy generates 75MW of power at three sites including Formosa, Magdalena and Sáenz Peña.
Campion added: "Our Argentina award further demonstrates that turbines have a key place in the fast-track power market. They are the preferred technology of utilities and a solution that integrates well into their existing infrastructure."
